Diffused Triumphs

Diffused jet trail

How magnificently obvious and roaring is the Majestic power of God.

A plane had flown from east to west, leaving a trail of disturbance.  A disturbance that was never intended to be, in the beginning.

But God, in his Magnificent and Glorious Strength, diffused the wake of man’s tiny triumph into a painting beyond the imagination.

So it is this morning, as I begin my day.  So is his glorious promise, when the Day of God dawns.  The tiny triumphs of man will be diffused.  They will not be found among the Glorious Beauty which is Jesus the Christ of God!

The Living Dead

Make no mistake in thinking that evil is its own master.  Evil thrives in the creation that belongs to God.  Having overcome all wickedness, Christ Jesus is the Master over evil.  Even the father of lies is subject to his rule.

The Apostle Paul said that in God we live and move and have our being.  There is nothing that finds its life apart from God.

So proud they are to rebel.  What joy it gives them to spurn the things of the Living God’s Christ.  How utterly foolish to think they have accomplished anything.  For even rebellion belongs to God.  And he will do with it as pleases him when the time is right.

Why should this not give us peace, we who belong to Christ by the power of His Holy Spirit?  Why should this not give us strength, to know that nothing comes upon us outside his Holy rule?  And should this not cause us to forgive with the greatest of willingness, knowing that we are in His Holy presence now and forever.

Even the living dead belong to him.  And God will do with them as pleases him, when the time is right.  How much more do those who live in Christ belong to God?  Should such as we not desire to please him in the now?

Let us wake and remember these things!

Hear the Proclamation

Before the Holy Lord of Life, I have knelt and understood.  Before the unholy assembly around me I have witnessed unholy and ungodly doings.  I stand in the gap between and am filled with both joy and astonishment at the disparity between.

I remember the words spoken to a man with godly desire for Godly things.  “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”   Yet I do not assume I am the one to rectify this disparity between eternal life and eternal death.  But how can I remain silent?  What right might I contrive to keep these things to myself?

Hear the proclamation:

14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.  (Jude)

Will you remain as a fortified city against the Holy Lord?  Will you exalt what is unholy with joy?  Will you continue to revel in the things that God abhors?

Then prepare yourselves for a “Deciding”.  There is a line between what is unholy and what is Holy.  It has been drawn from eternity, and will never be moved.  Bare naked of all resources, every man will stand at that line.  God will raise up His Holy hand and pronounce the decision for life or destruction.  All that is unholy will never see life.

Will you still embrace your unholy ways?  So be it.  Will you turn and embrace His Mercy?  So be it.  Make your choice NOW!

Not Alone!

O People of the Holy Spirit, know that you are not alone.  I repeat, you are not alone.

For as surely as you have bent your knees before the Holy Living God’s Holy Son, so have a great number of others.  We have all approached the Holy Source of Living Life.  And He, in His Great Mercy, has granted what is Holy and Good to many.  No, we are not alone.

Speak of the Beautiful things you have received, with faithful abandon, speak.  You may or may not receive an echo of your words.  But remain full of trust, you are not alone.

We know He has not abandoned us.  For we have prayed and risen full of truth.  As we will be one, on that Holy Day, so we are one today.  We are not alone.  And we are able to agree in these Holy Promises together as one.

Let us allow our hearts to be full of strength in these things.  Let us not fear in any way.  Let the Promises of the Living God’s Holy Christ fill us with confidence.  Let our legs receive the strength of eternity.  It is His Holy will that His people should stand with great and unquenchable strength.

Solace in the Offending

I find great solace in the following:

If, in the words that proclaim the Holy One of God, I offend three hundred people.  If these people leave this place of proclamation, there is no loss.  For there are three hundred million yet to hear.

And if, in the end, I have offended three hundred million, I have done no harm.  For such men would be offended even if the Holy One Himself appeared among them.

Ceaseless praise comes from my heart,

The place that was so vile.

The dog returns to what was his,

So was my wandering style.

But God has made a lovely place.

A place He calls His own.

And He will lead me to a place,

That I have never known.
